New Car: 2014 Nissan NV200 Taxi for London

The classic black
cab has been one of London's most iconic elements for a long time now,
which is why Nissan was very mindful in maintaining the heritage when
designing the new NV200 Taxi for London. Officially revealed this week, the new NV200 Taxi for London is a modern take on the city's classic black cab.

Developed and
designed in London, the NV200 doesn't even look like a Nissan product at
first glance. Like the original Hackney Carriage, the NV200 wears round
headlights and a completely new bumper with a redesigned chrome grille.
The NV200 also keeps the all-black paint job and the traditional taxi
sign on the rooftop, which has been equipped with LED lighting for
improved visibility. To prepare the cab for London’s busy roadways,
Nissan modified the NV200’s suspension and steering systems to achieve
the 25-foot turning circle required by the Transport for London (TfL)
taxi governing body.

At launch, the
NV200 London Taxi will be powered by a 1.6-liter gas engine paired with
an automatic gearbox. For now, the engine is rated at 115 hp and 117
lb-ft of torque, though those numbers could change. Like New York’s version,
the NV200 London Taxi features dual-sliding doors that accommodate
wheelchair-users. The cabin offers seating for five, and also includes
USB charging ports and seats upholstered with antibacterial materials.
To improve cargo space, the front passenger seat has also been removed.

The NV200 London taxi will go on sale in
December 2014, while the all-electric e-NV200 Taxi for London is slated
for 2015. As part of the global program, Nissan will also introduce new
NV200 taxis in Barcelona and Tokyo.
